My CEO Bai Fumei’s wife

"The third layer is the River Styx, where living spirits dwell. They will burrow into a cultivator's sea of ​​consciousness and devour their soul."

Qin Yu placed his hand on the Chaos Refining Furnace, and the lid was slightly opened a crack.

"The spirits of the underworld are also a kind of ghostly energy, and my stove just happens to be hungry."

When the River Styx came into view, the water was blackish-red, and countless blurry figures floated on the surface. These figures were all fragments of the divine souls of cultivators who had been swallowed by the River Styx.

The chaotic furnace fire surged out of the furnace chamber, forming a wall of fire around the python's body. The moment the underworld spirit touched the wall of fire, it was sucked into the furnace chamber and turned into nourishment for the furnace fire.

Ye Gu stood on the python, watching the scene of the underworld spirits being devoured. In the three years he had been in the arena, he had heard too many legends about the Northern Underworld Abyss. Those legends said that the River Styx on the third level was the graveyard of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and that only half of the ten who went in were lucky to come out.

"Boss, your stove can swallow way too much stuff."

"The Chaos Furnace Fire can fuse all things, and the Netherworld Spirits are one of those things."

The fourth layer is the Netherworld Storm Zone, where the wind carries countless tiny bone spikes. These bone spikes can penetrate ordinary protective spirit shields and pierce directly into the flesh, but they are all deflected when they encounter the Chaos Protective Membrane.

The fifth level is the Dark Domain, an area devoid of any light source, impenetrable even by divine sense. Yet, Zhuge Chuchu's crystal pupils allow her to see more clearly in the Dark Domain than during the day.

"Turn 30 degrees to the left. There is a whirlpool of dark current 500 feet ahead. Go around it."

Following her guidance, the giant ice python traversed the dark domain, taking half an hour to cross the entire dark area.

The sixth level is the sealed-off area, which is the true core of the Northern Abyss. The guardians here are not demonic beasts or formations, but a group of cultivators who call themselves the Abyss Guardians.

Qin Yu saw the entrance to the sealed-off area from the python's body. There were more than thirty cultivators standing at the entrance, with cultivation levels ranging from the early to late Nascent Soul stage. The leader was an old woman in a black robe, whose cultivation level was at the early stage of the Half-Step Divine Transformation stage.

"Outsiders are forbidden from entering. No one is allowed to enter the seventh level of the Northern Abyss."

The old woman's voice echoed through the sealed-off area, and more than thirty guards simultaneously unleashed their magical weapons, completely blocking the entrance.

Qin Yu jumped off the python and landed at the edge of the cordoned-off area.

"I need to retrieve something from the seventh-level altar. Move aside."

"The altar is a forbidden area of ​​the abyss; no one may enter without permission."

"I said move aside, not that I'm asking if you can move aside."

The old woman narrowed her eyes. She had been guarding the blockade for two hundred years, and no one had ever dared to speak to her in such a tone.

"Young man, I advise you to turn back. The thing sealed in the seventh altar is not something you can touch. It is a fragment of a reincarnated soul, and countless forces throughout the cultivation world are watching it."

"Good for them to keep an eye on things. I'll let them know that anyone who dares to touch my wife's things will be killed by me."

These words changed the old woman's expression. She had never seen such a thing in the past two hundred years: her soulmate coming to retrieve the fragments of her soul in person.

“You are Yan Mingyu’s Daoist partner.”

"I am her husband, Bloodthirsty Qin Yu."

The name Qin Yu made the old woman take a half step back. The name Blood Fiend was widely known in the cultivation world. She had heard of all his achievements, including destroying the Xuan Yin Sect, killing Lin Tianhao, defeating the Dragon Whale General, shooting down the Elf King's projection with an arrow, and eating 108 puppets from the Heavenly Craft Pavilion.

"You are Blood Fiend."

"I don't want to fight you. Get out of my way, and I'll take what I need and leave. If you don't move, I'll step over you."

The old woman gripped the magical artifact at her waist tightly, and the eyes of more than thirty guards were all on her, waiting for her to make a decision.

"The altar's seal requires a special key to open. Do you have one?"

Qin Yu turned to look at Ye Gu, who then revealed the remnant of the seal at the joint of the severed arm.

"The key is here. I'm asking you one last time, are you going to let me through or not?" The old woman was silent for three breaths, then stepped aside from the entrance.

"Go in, but I must remind you that there are not only fragments of the reincarnated soul in the altar, but also an ancient Nether Beast sealed inside. The strength of that Nether Beast is no less than that of the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage."

"Thanks for reminding."

Qin Yu led everyone from the entrance into the seventh floor. The old woman stood there watching their backs disappear into the darkness, while the guards behind them approached.

"Elder, you just let him in like that?"

"What can we do if we don't allow it? His furnace can devour everything that is fused by the Chaos Furnace Fire. All thirty of us combined wouldn't be enough to fill his teeth."

The guards exchanged glances. They had all heard of the Chaos Forge, but they never expected that it would actually be claimed as a master.

The environment on the seventh floor was more eerie than the previous six floors combined. The air was filled with a decaying, deathly aura, the ground beneath one's feet was blackish-purple, and with each step one took, faint wailing sounds came from underground.

Zhuge Chuchu's crystal eyes locked onto the location of the altar. Five hundred feet ahead, an altar made of black bones stood there, with a ball of white light floating in the center of the altar.

"That is a fragment of Yan Mingyu's soul."

Qin Yu quickened his pace, his gaze fixed on the ball of white light—his wife's soul, the thing he had traveled so far to retrieve.

But he stopped when he was a hundred feet away from the altar.

Because the ground beneath the altar cracked open, a claw larger than the head of the Xuanbing Giant Python emerged from the crack. The claw was jet black, and its nails were stained with the blood and flesh of countless cultivators.

"Someone has come to collect the fragments of reincarnation."

The voice came from underground, hoarse as if someone who hadn't spoken for thousands of years had suddenly spoken. The owner of the claws slowly emerged from the crack. It was a pitch-black underworld beast, shaped like a wolf but larger than a mountain, with two purple ghost flames burning in its eyes.

"Ancient Netherworld Beast, Abyss Wolf."

Zhuge Chuchu's voice trembled as Liuli Tong told her that the Nether Beast's strength was not at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but at the middle stage, a level stronger than the old woman had described.

Abyss Wolf's gaze swept over Qin Yu and then landed on the Chaos Refining Furnace.

"The Chaos Refining Furnace, interesting. The first person in three thousand years to bring this thing to retrieve the fragments of reincarnation."

“You are the guardian of the altar.”

"Guardian? I am not a guard. I am a prisoner sealed here. The fragments of reincarnation are my guards and my food."

"food."

"The aura of the reincarnated soul can nourish my soul. I have been here for 30,000 years, surviving on scraps of those fragments."

Qin Yu clenched his fists. This Nether Beast had been eating scraps of his wife's soul for 30,000 years, no wonder Yan Mingyu's soul was so severely damaged.

"Then you don't need to eat today."

"No need to eat, I'm starving. You've come at the perfect time. I'll eat you first, then continue eating that piece of debris."

The Abyss Wolf lunged towards Qin Yu. Its speed, at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, was faster than any enemy Qin Yu had encountered before. Its figure flashed in front of the altar and appeared in front of Qin Yu.

Qin Yu did not dodge. The lid of the Chaos Refining Furnace faced forward, and flames shot out.

The Abyss Wolf's claws stopped the moment they touched the Chaos Furnace Fire, not because they were blocked, but because it sensed the aura within the fire.

"The power of chaos! You possess the power of chaos within you!" (End of Chapter)
